Hey guys, will a 1998-2002 a4 steering column work in my 1993 m6 TA?
Thanks in advance!

 

Sure,but the vats is going to be looking for ur original resistance. so bypassing that it could work. someone could chime in with a definite answer though im sure.

 

could i use my vats stuff from my old column?

 

Vats are under the dash. they have their own module. u would have to switch ignition switches.

 

Oh duh, i dont know what i was thinking.

 

i'm interested in this as well...but i really just want a new steering wheel..not the whole column....anyone with a 98+ leatherwrapped TA wheel....PM me...needs to be in really good shape with the airbag of course

 

 

/\ X2 lol. Good Luck, let us know how it goes.

 

lol, well i do have one more quick question. What is the difference between the columns in an a4 and an m6? Im not sure if there is even a difference, it just always says what theyr out of on ebay.

 

Not really sure, hopefully someone will chime in.i cant remember if the m6 guys have the little button that lets u turn the key. or not. that maybe the difference. I have always been in automatics(sad i know)

 

By the look of your sig, a race between us would be whats sad lol. Yeah now that you say it I do remember there being no button on the a4's. I wounder if it would be fine without it.

 

I'm sure the day crew will have people chiming in on what is right and wrong. Why are u switch columns anyways, if u dont mind me asking?

 

Im switching because mine is all messed up from the previous owner. The signal lever mechanism is all busted, the column is loose, and the steering wheel buttons are busted up and the airbag has a hole in it.

 

So i guess what i need to know now is if an a4 column will work in an m6 car. I found a good one for 80 bucks and need to know in the next 2 hours!!! HELP!

 

the ignition swich is diffrent Between M6 and A4

 

can i use the switch out of my column?

 

Im not sure about that you will need to ask someone else. Im guessing you know that the ignition switch sits on top of the column, not the key switch

 

I got the column, swithed out the ignition switch, and it still wont start. It will turn on and evrything powers up fine, but when you go to start it, it just clicks and the security light stays on. What am i missing?

 

anyone?

 

your vats. did you take your ignition switch out of your old column and install it in your new column and reconnect the 2 little wires with the orange wrap around it? If not the vats system is reading for the resistance of your original key. there are like 10 different ones if not a few more that gm used. so just pluggin the one on the new column will not work. Just a guess
